Weatherday, the noise pop project helmed by the mononymous songwriter Sputnik, turns a fascination with hornets into a fully realized world on Hornet Disaster, a sweeping follow-up to the 2019 debut Come in and a spiritual successor to the 2022 collaboration Weatherglow. Shaped from an initial burst of more than 70 songs and guided by a clear narrative that ties back to earlier work, the album opens with a bristling title track that hurtles forward with volatility and playfulness while hinting at new approaches to writing and production. Lead single Angel, paired with Heartbeats, underscores that evolution, one as a punchy, springy emo anthem and the other a sleek, downtempo piece that nods to The Knife and expands Weatherday’s sonic palette. Across nineteen tracks, the motion, color, and shape of hornets weave through whirlwind melodies and sudden turns, making room for varied detours like a Swedish-language winter tribute in Pulka, the airy shimmer of renaissance flute on Green Tea Seaweed Sea, and the folktronica experimentation of Ripped Apart By Hands. The result is a bustling collection where songs jostle like insects in a swarm, stirring tension and release while maintaining purpose and familiarity, extending the knotted intensity of Come in with an all-in spirit that reflects an artist fully settled into a distinct voice.

Celebrate the publication of Secret Daughter by Veronica Gonzalez Peña with a conversation featuring Chris Kraus. The novel follows a girl sent from her extended family in Mexico City to live in the United States at the age of six, a move meant to shield her from her mother’s severe mental illness. She grows up in a Midwestern college town with an affectionate yet ineffectual uncle and his unsympathetic wife, while long summers back in Mexico leave her moving between two homes and two worlds. At twelve she is abruptly told that the man she believed was her father is not, and that her biological father is his close friend, a disclosure that deepens her sense of being in between. As an adult, she enters psychoanalysis to examine a lifelong feeling of loss and dislocation. The book interweaves memory, analysis, and keen observation to bring the textures of childhood close, tracing how early fractures reverberate into later life. It pieces together a life from shards of experience, with its revelations resonating against Mexico’s turbulent history. The novel has earned praise from writers including Chloe Aridjis and Colm Tóibín, who note its intelligence, its probing of secrecy and half-truths, and its clear-eyed journey toward freedom and self-knowledge. Veronica Gonzalez Peña is a writer and filmmaker, author of twin time: or how death befell me and The Sad Passions, and director of Lawrence Weiner: Writing on the Wall and Pat Steir: Artist. Secret Daughter is her third novel with Semiotext(e). Chris Kraus is the author of The Four Spent the Day Together, serves as Visiting Faculty at Deep Springs College, and is a co-editor of Semiotexte with Hedi El Kholti.
